Hi, I'm Jason!
I spent a few years working at big and small tech companies. Lately, I've been working on building tools to scratch my developer itches. I really like tools that make software development simpler.
I live in Boston, and travel a lot. My favorite trip last year was the Tour du Mont Blanc, a 10 day hike through the French, Swiss, & Italian Alps (blog coming soon).
I provide full support for all of my projects. You can reach me at [email protected]. If you're using Popcorn Notify for a project, I'd be really excited to hear about it!
